SARATOGA, May 29.-Probably no summer resort known to mod ern tourists is more pop ular or is visited more often than Saratoga Springs. It is comp paratively quiet village
 
 with the early spring and extending into the late fall it is converted into lively and pros- porous city, with it's increased population of upwards of twenty thousand or more, all joyous and self-satis6ed souls, each one busy, everyone intent and particularly interested in at least one object-pleasure. In making our early observation in and about Saratoga it is found that extra exertions have been made this spring for the accommodations of the grand rush (of which every indication Is prophetic) for the coming season. At any rate so sanguine have been the expectations of the army of hotel and boarding house pro prietors that enlargements, additions and ia cilities have been so much increased during the winter that it is said that thirty thou- sand guests can be housed and fed here at one time this summer. At least three thou sand more guests can be accommodated this season than ever before. In counting up it is found that Saratoga contains some sixty houses, a much larger number than any other resort on the continent, and the terms for good accommodations are about as diversified as any reasonable mind might require,-prices ranging from five dol lars per week to five dollars per day, accord ing to style, location, etc., required. num- Der of the smaller hotels and boarding houses have opened to guests. Congress Hall has been greatly improved and it's sani- tary condition he1 received marked attention and their prospects for guests this season are much larger than for three years past. This hotel opens June 18th to accommodate the society of the Army of the Potomac, which meets in Saratoga the 22nd and 23rd of June. They make Congress Hall their headquarters. Gen. Sherman and other prominent officers, also President Cleveland, will be present A grand banquet occurs on the evening of the 23rd. The Court or Appeals will commence on June 6, with headquarters at the Windsor Hotel.
 The National Grand lodge of Good Tenn plars is in session here for ten days com- Hotchkiss, of New Haven, is one of the Con- nectieut Grand loIge delegates. The New York Mainzer Carnival Verein and Iieder- taefel societies will meet in Saratoga July 4. The united societies of Christian Endeavor and the Episcopal Christian Educators will
  admirers of horse flesh and running steeds the Saratoga Racing association will throw open it's gates on July 19. The Bar associa- tion will be in session here in August. Many societies, political and religious, busi- ness, &c.,, are booked for this season. One very prominent feature of Saratoga is the many cottages which have been erected within short time and the number is being continually increased. They are principally owned and occupied by New York and Brooklyn parties. Many have already begun their cottage life for the season. The famous, lovely and ever inviting spot, Congress Park, is receiving more than usual eomblng, pBuning and beautifying. Its pagodas and various band stand or concert payilions are being made ready for the many vocal and in- strumental entertainments which will occur on the park this season.
 The pure crystal Congress waters, which have made this spot so famous, are bursting forth from their rocky bed and sending up streams of cooling and invigorating water as healthful as inviting, and many will be the visitors at this park and it's springs this sea son. The famous Hathorn springs, which have administered to the health and pleas ure of it's multitudes of patrons each year, have been made unusually attractive and inviting for this summer. The proprietors of the 'Hathorn" are always busy in perfect ing new arrangements which will be for the comfort and best interests of their patrons.
 
 rounds the entire spring. The tiling is in colors and octagonal in shape, and built flush with an elegant brass railing which in- closes the springs, of which there are three in number. An elegant glass cylinder resting on marble base has been added where the spring will send up streams eight feet high, and through connecting cylinders the crystal waters will be conducted into large glass globes. open at the top, from which thousands of the patrons of this most popular spring will imbibe it's health giving and inspiring waters. So popular has this spring become that it has been found necessary to run it all winter to accommodate it's numerous pat rons.
 The noted Washington, Putnam Red Spring (discovered in 177O), High Rock, Geyser and the very many other popular springs, are all in the best running order, spouting, boiling and foaming day and night without inter mission, healing all manner of diseases and gratifying the deluging propensities of their many devotees. But then what would Sarato- ga be without it's springs. A ship without rudder, Brighton without beach, a New Haven without it's Grecian State House.
